Description
The Build Bentonville program boasts one of the most diverse attendee lists of any Chamber event with more than 125 businesses being represented.
With 34 people moving to Northwest Arkansas each day, Bentonville has quickly become a hot spot for serial entrepreneurship. Due to new technological advances, a biking mecca in our backyard, a hub for artists and makers, and an economy that is flourishing, our region has boundless opportunities for success.
In the past decade, especially in the past few years, Bentonville has experienced unprecedented growth. Once a sleepy, small-town, Bentonville has quickly transformed into an epicenter of where community meets economy. Daily, we're seeing new development- whether it be commercial or residential; a new store front, or a new apartment complex; a high rise, or multi-use. Due to that, the U.S. Census Bureau recently reported that Bentonville is the nation's 5th fastest-growing city.
Join us on February 25th at 12pm for a virtual panel packed with local developers and real estate powerhouses to discuss how the development within our city has an impact on Bentonville residents and business owners. We'll be discussing major changes on the horizon, and what to expect.
